Golden Gardens Park Vegetation Management Plan

The Golden Gardens Vegetation Management Plan addresses the forest
resource of Golden Gardens Park. This includes both the forested hillside
east of the Burlington Northern Railroad and also areas along the beach
that contain trees and associated vegetation. The plan provides Seattle
Parks and Recreation staff and allied citizens long-term goals and intermediate
(20 year) objectives for managing the park's vegetation. The plan is
based on related planning documents, including the Seattle Parks COMPLAN,
the Urban Wildlife and Habitat Management Plan, and the Seattle Parks
and Recreation Tree Policy. It extracts long-term goals from these sources
and develops related objectives based on the condition of the forest
resource, historical context, ecological trends, and the potential of
the community and management resources.
